Migration

This isn't exactly a new picture, but I was reminded of it yesterday while out for a walk in the Peak District. I had been photographing butterflies for a client and after they had chosen their images I had quite a few left over. It was later when standing on Gardoms edge above Baslow, gazing over the Peak District that the butterflies came back to me and I imagined them migrating over the hills. More like a flock of geese than butterflies. So I shot the landscape there and then and later on built up this picture. It was fine tuned by my friend Jack Lowe,  a photographic retoucher who runs a digital services studio in Newcastle.
